Pros

Great teams and good job structure

Cons

Very poor pay, with minimal interest from management to increase it over time. No clear path for promotion and disproportionate expectations for pay and benefits.

Pros

Strong start - some interesting work and great colleagues made the job much more bearable

Cons

Working at ZOO was frequently disheartening, and I often felt overworked, undervalued, exploited, and extremely underpaid. In the time I was there, management flagrantly ignored the multiple issues raised by the staffing body, including concerns surrounding redundancies and the lack of mitigations to prevent them. When the redundancies were made, the process was extremely poorly handled by highest management. The communication was minimal and the reasons for rejecting employees’ suggested alternatives to redundancies were farcical. Any exodus that ZOO now experiences is thoroughly deserved - the company never showed that it valued its staff and the morale was shot to zero by the time I left. As well as this, opportunities for progression were minimal - it seems ZOO would much rather make redundancies and hire cheaper staff abroad than maintain the existing staff who know their jobs inside out. Finally, the highest management are particularly dangerous - a “boys club” who don’t understand that their actions have impact and that their 'communication style' is cold and their 'care for staff' superficial.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your time at ZOO. We are sorry to hear about your negative experiences and this will be shared with our executive team to review. The past year has been a challenging time for the industry and the company due to the changing priorities of our streaming clients and the prolonged Hollywood strikes which resulted in redundancies taking place. We appreciate that going through a redundancy process is extremely difficult and we ensure that ZOO clearly communicates frequently throughout the process with compassion along with providing additional resources to assist those affected. Whilst we expand our global footprint, some locations will expand as we aim to put certain resources as close to local markets as possible. We are working hard to ensure we create balance between all facilities. If you would like to share more details on your experience and ways we could have improved in your situation, please reach out to our HR team. Your advice is valued, and we are committed to investing in the well-being of our staff, enhancing communication channels, and fostering a more inclusive workplace culture.

Pros

Can work from home most of the time

Cons

Boring work. Sacked if this isn't your dream job, I asked to be trained elsewhere and was let go. Low pay.
